My Great Grandparents in Kirkoswald

My Great Grandparents, James & Annie Robinson and their daughters Caroline & Jane, moved to Kirkcoswold in early 1900's. Annie died in childbirth soon after. James remarried Mary Hetherington and had a son James jnr. He worked in the Co-Op in Lazenby and married and had 2 sons. James snr was a coachman and later worked cutting hedges. I remember visiting my step Great Grandmother when I was young in late 1950's before she died. The village was delightful. I remember they lived in a small house in an alley way (2 up 2 down). There was a nice church where I remember there was a large key hanging outside to open the door. I have a couple of photos taken at the time and I hope to visit this year as I am doing a family tree and would like to see if my Great Grandparents are buried locally.
